How to Use This Classification

  • Identify the dairy type and condition (fluid milk, cheese, yogurt, powders) and map it to NMFC item 55362 or 55363 for the exact rating.
  • Declare temperature targets on the BOL, e.g., 34–40°F; book refrigerated LTL or use insulated shippers with gel packs for short transit lanes.
  • Package to prevent leaks: sealed primary containers, lined cartons, stretch-wrapped and banded pallets, plus absorbent pads for weeping products.
  • Reference the correct NMFC sub-item (not 55360) on the BOL with package count and total weight; mark Perishable and avoid weekend dwell times.

Business Value

  • Accurate sub-item selection avoids reclass fees and rating disputes.
  • Clear cold-chain notes increase carrier acceptance and on-time performance.
  • Leak-resistant packaging reduces claims and protects shelf-life and brand.
  • Right-size reefer use to transit time to control costs without spoilage risk.
